I have one regret. I think I forgot to erase my Twitter presence before signing off from there forever. That, and the time in college that the hottest girl on campus threw herself at me and I was too young and inexperienced to know what the hell was going on. So two regrets. #regret#twitter#fascism
"Conservatives regularly turn killers like Kyle Rittenhouse (who killed two people and wounded a third) into heroes, provided the people they kill are liberals. So when they saw the video of Renee Good’s murder, they weren’t horrified, they were exultant."
"There are reports that federal agents are unrepentant following Good’s death at the hands of one of their number. Minnesotan Patty O’Keefe, an American citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. While they were transporting her, she says one of the agents said to her, 'You’ve gotta stop obstructing us. That’s why that lesbian bitch is dead.'”
"It’s just the kind of thing they’ve been thirsting for: some woke lib lesbian who was 'very, very disrespectful' (as Trump put it) to a man with a gun, and got just what she deserved. And they want more."
"As President Donald Trump ramps up his threats against the people he is supposed to be working for, his administration’s extreme immigration enforcement led Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to admit that anyone — U.S. citizen or otherwise — should be prepared to have to prove their citizenship to DHS agents."
"There's like a psychodrama at play here where Donald Trump and other people involved wish they would have cracked down on protesters harder after George Floyd. And there is a psychological element to this. There's a policy element to this from Stephen Miller."
"He is just looking for more and more creative ways to try to figure out how he can deport people as fast as possible and menace people. And that is like he has an ideological project. There are only a couple of ideological projects in this administration, Trump loving tariffs and Stephen Miller wanting to deport brown people are like the main two."
"Long before Miller held power, he immersed himself in demographic panic, eugenics-era immigration theory, and white nationalist grievance dressed up as 'heritage.' Once inside government, those ideas became policy: the Muslim ban, the dismantling of asylum, mass detention, and family separation. These weren’t mistakes or overreaches. The cruelty was intentional."
"In Texas, a migrant died in ICE custody at an immigration detention facility. Witnesses say his final words were 'I can’t breathe' as five ICE officers placed their body weight on him. A medical examiner is expected to rule the death a homicide. In Minneapolis, a six-month-old baby was rushed to the hospital after ICE agents tear-gassed the family’s vehicle."
"Renee Good had two gunshots wounds to the right side of her chest, one to her left forearm, and a possible fourth on the left side of her head, according to a fire department report released Thursday along with police reports and 911 transcripts."
